	Nowadays real-time systems can be found in different
	areas like the automotive or aviation industry. The reason for using such
	systems in these sectors, is robustness and short latency of a real-time
	system.
	
	With the fact that different Linux distributions can be found in these
	areas and especially in embedded systems, the question comes up, if it is 
	possible to use a normal Linux system as a real-time operating system or for
	several real-time applications.

	Therefore this paper describes, how to activate the real-time
	capability of a standard Linux distribution. After activating the real-time
	capabilities, the functionality is going to be tested with different test
	cases. Based on these tests and the corresponding results the differences
	between a normal and a real-time kernel are going to be evaluated.
